Callaeas cinereus (Kokako; South Island Kokako)

Synonyms: Callaeas cinerea

Wikipedia Abstract

The South Island kōkako (Callaeas cinereus) is a perhaps-extinct forest bird endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. Unlike its close relative the North Island kõkako it had largely orange wattles, with only a small patch of blue at the base, and was also known as the orange-wattled crow (though it was not a corvid). The last accepted sighting in 2007 was the first considered genuine since 1967, although there have several other unauthenticated reports.
